News and reports : McCain and Graham call for new negotiations between America and Iraq
Agencies invited Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, the U.S. administration and the Iraqi government to re-open negotiations in order to maintain an effective presence of the U.S. Army in Iraq before the situation deteriorates larger, they say.
He said McCain and Graham in a joint statement they were "very concerned" about the arrest warrant issued against Baghdad, Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi, days after the departure of the last U.S. troops from Iraq. Saying, "This is clear evidence that the political situation created by the surge in 2007 has been broken now." Senators gave the blame on Obama's "failure and unwillingness" to reach a deal with Iraq to keep the thousands of American soldiers after the final withdrawal date, as stipulated in the agreement signed by his predecessor, Republican George W. Bush. He said McCain and Graham that "if Iraq has sunk back into sectarian violence, the consequences will be disastrous for the Iraqi people and U.S. interests in the Middle East."
